It can come in the form of a computer application or as part of an electronic hardware. If used appropriately, these devices add to great sound quality. This allows music composers specializing in electronic music and disc jockeys to convert songs into other forms of music. One of the companies that have focused its efforts in the production of both audio and video signal processors is Furman.

Furman built its name and reputation by making   signal processors both for professional audio and video use. Over the years they have expanded their products to include AC power conditioners and distribution devices which are instruments that help deliver the right voltage level to allow electrical equipment to operate properly. This is applied commercially in sound rooms or theaters which requires power conditioning and surge suppression for the entire area. The latest addition in this company’s line of products involves the introduction of an energy efficient resource, the BlueBOLT™ Remote Power Management technology.

While it may sound like only soundstage owners and those involved professionally in music production will benefit from investing in power conditioners, this is not really the case. Every owner of quality audio and video equipment should consider purchasing an AC power conditioner so that they can experience the optimal performance of their units. If you have spent a lot of money buying top of the line appliances, it makes perfect sense to protect them, which what these devices give you. Without it, the quality of your sensitive audio and video components will deteriorate. Additionally, it also  provides relief from the occurrence of power surges and spikes.

The advantages, apart from the obvious improvement of the quality of your home theater system also include prolonging the life of your electrical appliances. Contaminated power can causes faster deterioration of the internal circuits which is why the sound and video are of poor quality. This can lead to eventual malfunction and breakdown. Furman offers you a simple solution to maximize the quality and life of your prized equipment by giving you professional protection for your home system.

This is possibly why the company has extended their product line – to offer a complete range of power management devices that fits both home theaters and professional systems set-up. Their products can be used for home and professional music recording, energy monitoring for residential units, and audio and video installation, among others. Another plus is the global compatibility of their products which they have ensured by providing varied connection solutions.

G&L Tribute Legacy Review http://mightypopo.ca/gampl-tribute-legacy-review/ http://mightypopo.ca/gampl-tribute-legacy-review/#comments Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:33:11 +0000 Lisa Latonio http://mightypopo.ca/?p=97 I had been thinking of buying a guitar and I finally found something that fits me. After a lot of research and reading through a lot of sites, I finally chose G&L Tribute Legacy. Below I am sharing my experience of this superb guitar. I bought it in the Sonic Fiber store where you can find a wide range of G&L guitar selections.

For those who don’t know G&L guitar company, they started in the late 1970s where the company was headed by Leo Fender, George Fullerton and Dale Hyatt. Even today all the guitars you buy from this company are hand made. I can feel that craftiness while holding the guitar in my hands; its a very different touch you get. But the built quality is excellent surely worth its price. Below is what I feel of this guitar on the various aspects I can think of. If I miss something in this review, then probably I haven’t discovered much of it yet. Here goes:

Features

I had bought the guitar from a shop was amazed to see it when saw for the first time. Tuning knobs all of them are of great metal finish and come with G&L logo beautifully printed on them. The case also has a logo on it and is again is beautifully custom made. The case never messes with the tuning and looks like dream come true, just for me. I can completely disassemble the guitar with the all the wrenches and whammy bar provided with the case. The benefit of a hand-made G&L guitar is visible in its looks as it feels though everything is made just for you.

G&L Tribute Legacy

Sound

It plays with a beautiful sound as I have played many genres on it. The blues I play just sounds just unbelievable they just move with me. The sound rage is superb with pickups, its just terrific. There is no distortion when you move from soft clear to high whine so it does it all if rock music is your cup of tea.

Durability

I have played this like anything for the past few months yet its built is so awesome that it looks as if its just brand new. If you want to perform live with this guitar than mark my word, this is your baby, it has surprised me with its performance so many times that I cant’ explain my joy in playing it. This guitar is completely dependable and durable I would say, because the kind of use that it has gone through my hands and still playing like a brand new and looking like one too is simply amazing.

Overall Impression

I have completely fallen in love with this G&L guitar. This is by far the easiest guitar to handle and smooth to work on. Even though before buying this guitar I had done a lot of research but was still in doubt while buying it, but its worth every penny and have surprised me on every aspect of a guitar on the positive side. I will surely cry if something happens to my guitar and the first thing I will do after that is buy a new one. G&L guitar are guitars with a legacy attached to them, and not to mention the prestige they have, but are bit difficult to find some times and are surely a priceless possession.
